I found my dinner treat. Morels! The best mushroom. I’m looking at you white truffle. Image
Quick late lunch! Spicy soup. Handcut noodles Image
I made a mushroom stock and am now poaching the morels in the stock. The recipe is from sad papi on TikTok. Image
And here we are. A brioche i toasted in butter, soft soft scrambled eggs, and morels. Image

Our appellate practice is about to go from a year of 1 or 2 trials by zoom to a *flood* of in-person trials. And I know talking to other peers this is the same for them. The Summer of Trials!
Fingers crossed that the disease really is on its last legs here and the vaccines hold up (I believe they will).
May all the errors be clear and the discretions abused!

Ok ok I’m there now people. @afoxmother @alisoncook Image
Here’s what I got. Pretty! ImageImage
OK, reporting back. They are... divisive cakes. Kid said "this is the worst" and got a cookie. So that's one opinion.

The winner for me is the one on the right - labne, pistachio(?) halva. Tart, with a savory hit from the halva. Surprising and delightful.

I saw the debate about the opinion in @tedfrank's class action case yesterday. I think I've said my piece on that (tldr: more and more I'm on Team Dry Opinions).

Put that aside, I thought I'd do a little experiment - take a few passages and strip out the flourishes 1/
#1, the intro

Some cool news: my colleague Eric Boettcher's amicus brief (when he was still in Minnesota) was cited twice in Justice Breyer's opinion in U.S. v. Cooley

Brief: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/19/1…

Op. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…

#AppellateTwitter
Other than a DIG or something caused by an amicus, this is the amicus blue ribbon it seems to me, so nice job Eric!
I will add - this piece of work is what I'm talking about when I say you have to be a little maniacal about appellate work. Here, Eric put himself in a position to write a brief as counsel of record when I'm sure this was not the most profitable thing he could have been doing.

Finally broke down and bought myself an ooni pizza oven (the smallest gas one)

Total delight. Some learning curve today with the first pies (you really have to turn the pizza aggressively) and I got the temp a little wrong. But it’s a great little machine.
Pics tomorrow on round 2. But flavor was amazing - and really cooks in the advertised 90 seconds.
I’m having my parents over for Sunday lunch, and I’m going to make 5 or 6 pies, so I’ll give it a real workout.

I really enjoy these super-textual Gorsuch opinions.

supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
You can tell he just delights in them

"Oh I'm being too literal? Too sad too bad!"
"I see, so my interpretive philosophy makes the government very sad. I bathe in its distress!"
